Voting and grassroots political pressure lead to real positive change: twitter.com Last fall I heard a lot of people saying there was no point in voting, that Virginia demographic changes condemned it to permanent blue status, that McAuliffe would pull off massive fraud, that Youngkin was just as bad. I understand why they said it. But it wasn’t true. The Democrat had promised vaccine passports and employer mandates. Youngkin immediately revoked existing mandates for state employees and college students. He revoked the K-12 mask mandate and every other restrictive Covid measure. He is refusing to implement CDC vax schedule. An election integrity unit was formed in the AG’s office. The unit has already filed charges against corrupt county election officials. He kicked people off the parole board who were notorious for letting dangerous criminals out onto the streets. We now have an AG who can file state charges when Soros-backed local DAs refuse to. The universities have new boards of visitors that are against removing statues of Jefferson and many other great men of history. He made them freeze tuition prices for Virginia students. He trashed the previous administration’s school transgender policies that led to a girl being raped in Loudoun. Virginia schoolchildren are much safer now. Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin defended his administration's trans policies, which require students to use bathrooms and join sports teams based on their biological sex. He did all of this without even controlling the legislature. The best part though is that Virginians now have a governor that doesn’t actively try to hurt them and make their lives miserable. He is willing to listen to what the people want. It’s a huge psychic relief. The naysayers were wrong, it was a victory worth winning and it took the boot off our necks. We are now playing offense. Winning elections is not the solution alone, it will take more than that, but it is part of what has to be done and it’s the most proximate way to punch back We won some great primary victories this year, there has never been a better slate of Republican candidates. If these candidates don’t win, we will go right back to the stale old Romney Republicans of the past. The system is not on the verge collapse, an armed revolution isn’t coming, you will not escape decline by moving to the sticks — this is it, this is the game. Tom
